The 1982 Senate election in Maryland took place on November 2, 1982, simultaneously with other elections for seats in the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives in addition to gubernatorial openings. Incumbent Democratic Senator Paul Sarbanes won reelection to a second term in office. He defeated the Republican nominee, former Representative from Maryland's 5th district and Prince George's County Executive Lawrence Hogan. Sarbanes even was able to win ruby-red Garrett County, which has never voted Democratic in presidential elections. Sarbanes would repeat this feat 6 years later in 1988, but no Democrat has ever won Garrett County in a Senate election since then.[1]
